All quest issues have been traced back to one phasing bug, which is being worked on. Nothing gamebreaking. I didn't have a single crash or lag issue this beta, and I didn't see zone chat exploding with complaints about it as it had before. I also don't think that a few people complaining about launcher issues constitutes "tons", much less a game-breaker.

Most of the problems that get worse at launch have to do with login issues, and guess what's been better and better over the last 3 stress tests?

Alright. its only going to be a week a half. Lets see who is right.

couldnt of said it better myself. the fact of it is most of the bugs were caused by phasing. which there were ways to get around them , people all over ebonheart pact were talking about all these quests that couldnt be completed and would list quest after quest. when if they would of tried doing said quest when less people were on they would of saw that half those quests were completable with less people doing them. granted thats not a fix but its not a bug with the quest it has to do with the way the server handles the quest code for everyone doing it and getting confused. furthermore this type of server really has never been used for this type of application before for this very reason. let them do their job before you pass judgement.

Considering you're already predicting issues that were fixed a month ago, I'd start seasoning your hat and warming up the oven.

Well, I can speak for myself and my gf only but:

1) Started in Aldmeri Dominion. Had 3 quests which did not work due to phasing issues - this out of at least 15 that worked (didn't keep detailed track). When this happened we just went on.

2) Only lag experienced in Cyrodiil was Sunday evening around very large battles. Otherwise very smooth and exceptionally better compared to the last beta.

3) Had no problem with the launcher. Switched my server to EU beforehand, got the patch, played. This on 2 different computers.

So overall very positive experience as you can see. Also, due to this being e free Beta, I expect much less people during the Early Launch so I think I'm good to go

I simply don't understand why we must declare the launch either a success or a failure today. Is it really that impossible to wait and see what happens?

I simply don't understand why we must prevent people from discussing their experiences and expectations in the interim before live. It is not like we are getting any actual factual information to fill the obvious need many have.
